12:02 pm
including al sharia, linked to the benghazi, and on the other side, antiislamist fighters trying to get rid of the militias. the latest violence happened when marines stormed the parliament to demand lawmakers step down. instead parliament is going ahead with a vote on a controversial new leader. a vote that could cause even more bloodshed and more fear our diplomats may be in grave danger. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. what assetses to the military have. >> on standby, in italy, the pentagon has now prepositioned eight osprey aircraft capable of virtue cal liftoff. a cross between a helicopter and a plane and can carry up to 20 or so passengers. the u.s. military has prepositioned three kc130j

12:05 pm
and that decision is going to be made by the ambassador in consultation with the state department and the defense department, and the calculations going to be how serious is the threat, and how effectively can we protect our personnel? so it's assessing what the situation on the ground is, are they targeting americans or are americans at risk of getting caught in the cross fire? i think they're going to try to stay until the last possible minute and that would mean they're going to leave when the bulls eye focuses on them and not the cross-fire between libyan factions. >> we have c130s, 250 marines, choppers, all stationed right now in sicily, ready to just jump over the pond there. it sounds like it would be a vietnam-esque style thing. is it or not? >> i wouldn't make it that dramatic. obviously -- >> it would be that dramatic if i were about to be airlifted out
12:06 pm
of an embassy for me personally. >> look. every embassy has what is called a neo. a noncombatant evacuation operation plan. and i can tell you, as a former ambassador, that your first duty is to protect the lives of americans. so, before you even get to the country that you're assigned to, you review the emergency action plan and the worst-case scenario, how to get everybody out if we need to. this is a plan that has been in place from day one. it is very detailed and very exhaustive and can be turned on with the flip of a switch. it also, i should say unique specialty of our military they can put together a force that is both rapid and mobile, insert themselves and get everybody out, really, in as little as eight to 12 hours. >> impressive. ambassador, nice to talk to you.

12:15 pm
lived in colorado, he could just go down the street and buy them and not get in any trouble, unless he gets behind the wheel of a car. >> absolutely. and what is also critical here is this is a juvenile who does not have a prior criminal history. the fact that his juvenile would be subject to something like five years in prison, it's an injustice, really is. >> i want our viewers to weigh in on this. the kid's name is jacob lavarro and he is out of texas, and it's insane. another bombshell lawsuit claiming the nfl put profits ahead of player safety, and this is a big one. former football players by the hundreds claim the league illegal he drugged them to make sure they could stay in the game inch many cases did not even tell them what was wrong with them. we'll talk to one of the former players who is suing.
